Oh man, I feel stupid for asking a silly and oft repeated question, but I'd like some advice. I've reads lots on the topic, but thought I'd ask anyway. I've been a handgun and muzzleloader shooter/hunter for 20 years but know little about rifles other than what I've read. I figure it's time to invest in a decent centerfire rifle. Living out west, I'm looking primarly for an antelope and deer rifle, with elk if I can ever draw a tag. I'm left-eyed, so that limits my choices somewhat. 30-06's are the most common in lefty guns, but the .270 is appealing also. I guess I'm curious if there's any reason to consider anything else. I reload for a number of strange handgun calibers, so as long as components are available it's not a big deal. I realize there's no such thing as a 'perfect' caliber, but I own a safe full of handguns and can't afford a safe full of rifles. I found a sweet Tikka 30-06 in left-hand for a decent price. The quality seems quite nice and I was impressed with the workmanship. Is this a decent rifle?
